Celebrating Christmas with the Pagans
Celebrating Christmas
with the Pagans
Have you ever considered why the annual biblical holy Feast days (sacred celebrations) are absent between fall and spring? As Bible believers, it’s also worth contemplating why the popular Roman holidays are not explicitly mentioned in Scripture. These include Christmas, Easter, New Year’s Day (January 1st), and Valentine’s Day. Unveiling their origins reveals a connection to pagan practices passed down from ancient Babylonian traditions. These were then repurposed by the Romans, who integrated them into their newly created solar calendar and “Christian” religion.
Despite their attempts, they could not logistically intertwine these PAGAN TRADITIONS with authentic biblical narratives. This is because their roots firmly trace back to the early post-flood era, the Babylonian seat of Satan. But also, the pagan-crafted holidays only fit on a solar manmade calendar. These celebrations mark the birth of the Babylonian Religion, embodied by figures like Nimrod, Semiramis, and their son Tammuz. Interestingly, various cultures across the globe adopted these Babylonian deities under different names. All of them appear to be born on December 25th. These include Tammuz of ancient Babylon, Krishna of India, Mithra of Persia, Horus of Egypt, and Buddha in India. Additionally, we can add Beddou of the Orient, Quetzalcoatl of the Western Hemisphere, Hercules of Greece, Attis of Phrygia, Osiris of Egypt, and Jesus Christ of the Roman Empire.
When we pause to consider that so many ancient deities across cultures, Tammuz, Mithra, Horus, Krishna, Attis, Osiris, and others, were all assigned the exact same birthday, it invites an honest question: How could such varied gods, separated by geography and language, all share December 25th? And if this date was rooted in pagan tradition long before the time of the Messiah, what should it tell us when we discover that the name and deity of Jesus Christ of Rome was later placed into this same pattern?
These parallels invite every sincere seeker to reexamine the origins of inherited beliefs and to ask whether the Messiah of Scripture, Yahusha haMashiach, may have been overshadowed by traditions that bear little resemblance to His true identity and timing.
Is Jesus Christ the Messiah of the Bible?
In light of these ancient pagan traditions and their integration into Rome’s solar-based religious system, it becomes important to recognize a distinction that many sincere believers have never been invited to consider. The “Jesus Christ” promoted by Rome, together with the solar calendar attached by them to His worship cycle, was a fourth-century construct. At that time, Emperor Constantine merged pagan customs with a state-endorsed religion of their own creation, which they named Christianity as a sign of being a Christ follower.
This construct, however well-intentioned its current followers may be, was a calculated replacement for and does not represent the same person as Yahusha haMashiach. He alone was and remains the Hebrew Messiah born in Bethlehem, Israel, and revealed through the Torah, the prophets, and the lunar calendar established at Creation. The former reflects a Romanized adaptation tied to the pagan holidays and timekeeping of the surrounding nations; the latter, the true Messiah, embodies the covenant identity, timing, and prophetic precision of the Most High.
Understanding this distinction is not about condemning those who have inherited corrupt traditions, because we all have, but about inviting every seeker to rediscover the authentic Messiah in His original and authentic Scriptural context and to step into the restoration He calls us to. Refer to the article, Constantine’s Creation of Jesus Christ.
Our Messiah’s True Prophetic Birthdate
According to the written testimony of Scripture, Yahusha, our beloved Messiah, was born on the full New/Renewed Moon Day of the sixth lunar month at His first coming. Yet there is compelling reason to consider that His birth may originally have aligned with the first day of the seventh month, the Feast of Trumpets, synchronizing it to the very day foreshadowing His glorious return and second coming. What this would mean is that both the first and second coming of our Messiah may occur on the exact same day of the lunar yearly cycle, placing it around October of the Roman calendar.
If such a shift did occur, a result of an alteration made by the “lying pen of the scribes” (Jeremiah 8:8), it would require only a simple adjustment in the recorded priestly course divisions. By moving Zechariah, John the Baptist’s father, four courses air jordan 6 toro earlier (four weeks or one lunar month) than his true schedule, the entire prophetic timeline of Yahusha’s birth would not appear shifted on the surface, masking its connection to the seventh-month New Moon. So, while the alteration makes the false timeline look correct, it hides the true seventh-month alignment that seems to harmonize the Messiah’s first and second coming on this holy Feast Day, symbolized with trumpets. Refer to the article, Our Messiah’s True Prophetic Birthdate.
Because we have been told in advance by the prophet Daniel in chapter 7:25 that TIMES & LAWS would be altered, is it possible that our Messiah’s birthdate could be included in a colossal cover-up? Absolutely! At the very least, it should be considered.
All the World Deceived
In truth, the whole world has been touched by a quiet and pervasive deception, shaped for centuries by the governing patterns and calendrical economy inherited from the Roman–Babylonian religious system and its solar calendar altered from the original lunar model. Every community on earth, churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, and even cultural traditions from East to West, now lives within its framework, often without realizing how far these institutions of worship have drifted from the Creator’s original design. Ezekiel 22:26 puts it this way, “Her priests have violated My law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane… and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths.”
Although we have all been touched by deception, our Great Shepherd still calls to His sheep with a voice that cannot be silenced. Those who have “eyes to see and ears to hear” will recognize the call of their Master, and they will come out of Babylon and follow Him whithersoever He goes.
1) All the World is Deceived
“…and all the world wondered after the beast.” Revelation 13:3
2) Babylon is Fallen Prophecy
“Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the carved images of her gods He has broken to the ground.” Isaiah 21:9
“Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” Revelation 14:8
“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit…” Revelation 18:2
3) Come Out of Her My People
“…Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4
Discovering Authentic Biblical Worship
For those who identify as followers of the Messiah, it can be both enlightening and transformative to explore what it truly means to live as followers of Scripture. In Leviticus 23, YAHUAH the Most High outlines all His holy, sacred, and set-apart Feast Days, His appointed times for worship, remembrance, and prophetic revelation. Though evidence suggests that these Feast Days have been rearranged over the centuries (see article The Menorah, the Gold Standard of Time), their original structure and sequence were divinely designed to reveal the unfolding PLAN OF SALVATION and the REMEDY for SIN through the LAMB OF YAHUAH. It is through His sacrificial death upon the cross/stake that the gift of ETERNAL LIFE is offered to all who trust and obey.
Each of us will ultimately face a defining choice between the truth and the lie, between the man-made solar calendar and the biblical lunar calendar, between the pagan holidays of Babylon-Rome and the Holy Feast Days of Yahuah Alahim, between Jesus Christ of Rome and Yahusha haMashiach of Scripture, deciding whom we will trust, whom we will follow, and whose voice we will obey.
Choosing to embrace traditional holidays rooted in pagan practices while overlooking the MOST HOLY DAYS (FEAST DAYS) OF YAHUAH Alahim may signify aligning with Satan’s banner through PAGAN BABYLON, even if unintentionally.
YAHUSHA, your Messiah, extends an invitation to come out. Revelation 14:8 says, “BABYLON IS FALLEN, IS FALLEN!” “COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE!” (YeshaYAHU/Isaiah 21:9; Revelation 14:8; Revelation 18:4)
Our compassionate Creator and Redeemer loves ALL the people in this world, having sent His only Son for the sake of restoring humanity back to righteous favor with Yahuah Alahim. He cares even for those who believe celebrating Christmas aligns with His will. However, once the truth is known and ignored, individuals might find themselves outside His mercy’s banner, as Scripture describes.
My people perish for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, so you shall be no priest to Me, seeing you have forgotten the Torah Law of your Alahim, I will also forget your children. Hosea 4:6

Embracing True Knowledge
Amid our cherished family customs, each one of us is beckoned by our loving CREATOR to awaken from any mental fog that may obscure our understanding. It’s important to consider that if one cannot prove the celebration of “Christmas from the Bible as the authentic Birthday of our beloved Messiah, tied to December 25th,” it may be that it just does not align with the will of YAHUAH Alahim but rather with worldly influences designed to draw us away from Him.
Celebrating Christmas due to its popularity or based on teachings from religious figures, such as the Pope, a perceived modern prophetess, Reformers, or Pastors, regarding this ancient PAGAN observance linked to Nimrod and Tammuz (born on December 25) indicates deception. Those leading you in such directions may unintentionally be spiritual impostors. It’s worth reflecting on whether you are willing to follow such leaders blindly, potentially heading toward negative eternal consequences.
Choosing a Path of Love and Truth
Those who adhere to the teachings of Scripture most often desire to distance themselves from anything that may dishonor their CREATOR and MESSIAH.
Remember, you are dearly loved, and the compassionate nature of the Almighty Father never wavers. Yet, participating in the Christmas celebration, knowing its pagan origins, will subject you and your cherished families to the judgments associated with pagan practices.
YAHUAH yearns for your eternal happiness and companionship. On the contrary, Satan seeks to lead you towards infinite demise and destruction. However, the power to decide lies with you. Disregarding calls to align with the MOST HIGH is a crucial step in making a final decision against Him. YAHUAH wishes for you to choose Him by embracing a life of obedience. He will guide you with His loving principles so you won’t succumb to the deceptive customs and traditions propagated by Satan among his pagan followers.
If you feel that giving up Christmas and Easter, etc., will leave you without something to celebrate, then I have good news for you. As mentioned earlier, Scripture outlines the seven sacred Feast Days (Holy Days), designed to illustrate the entire PLAN OF SALVATION, the only REMEDY FOR SIN.
These time-centric Feast Days were ordained to be celebrated in their order from first to last, from spring to fall. None of the original Holy Days can be altered according to human whim, moved out of their places, nor occur in the late fall or winter. Their purpose is to lead those who seek Yahusha haMashiach (the Messiah) with all their hearts back to a full restoration and unbroken relationship with Yahuah Alahim, the Most High Father.
It is in celebrating His anointed Holy Feast Days that the sinner may follow their Messiah, the Lamb, whithersoever He goes (Revelation 14:4). This is because the holy Feast Days are the Atoning work of Yahusha, the Messiah, and the path the faithful and obedient follow unto Salvation. Only those covered by the Blood of the LAMB, Passover’s lunar time-centric event, can enter the Most Holy Place on that last Great Day. The Menorah, the Gold Standard of Time.
Your decision should stem from a deep gratitude for what He has done in paying the price for sin and death so that you may live eternally with Him and without sin. Add to this that True “PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN” is found in aligning your life with His teachings. Take the time to uncover the actual birthdate of the Messiah. This will help you understand why certain truths may not be emphasized in conventional places of worship. Delve deeper into Christmas’s shocking realities, as choosing not to act can have eternal consequences.

Celebrating Christmas with the Pagans
Beneath the glow of festive cheer,
A deeper truth may yet appear—
A tale of customs old, obscure,
Of origins far from holy, pure.
When frosty air and carols chime,
Do we pause to ponder time?
Why sacred Feasts, from fall to spring,
Find no winter’s bell to ring?
The Romans forged a festive spell,
A borrowed script they’d never tell.
From Babylon’s cradle, dark and deep,
Sprang days Scripture forbade us keep.
Oh, December twenty-five’s allure!
Birthdays shared with gods obscure—
Tammuz, Mithra, Horus, all,
Their shadows cast on Yuletide’s hall.
Saturnalia, wild with cheer,
Draped the solstice every year.
With revelry, gifts, and evergreen,
A pagan tale became routine.
The tree of Asherah, trimmed with pride,
Stands upright, though its roots we hide.
Adorned with gold, a glimmering crown ADIDAS Originals BLACK 'Samba 62 Super' sports shoes,
Echoes Babel’s idols long renowned.
“SANTA’S,” anagram, sly and neat,
Switch his letters, whom do we meet?
Yet parents lie with smiles sincere,
“Here’s a gift from Santa, dear.”
And let’s not forget the reindeer lore,
Babylon’s walls, their carvings store.
The serpent’s tree, mankind’s first fall,
Decorates our decked-out halls.
You say, “He wasn’t born that day,
But let’s pretend, it’s just our way.”
Why pray for me because I pause
To shun this mix of script and flaws?
“Come out of her!” the call is clear—
Babylon falls, its end is near.
Why cling to ways the nations prize,
When truth’s full moon illumines skies?
Leviticus outlines YAHUAH’s Feasts,
From spring to fall, His sacred tests.
Each marks His plan, salvation’s thread,
Through the Lamb who, rose from the dead.
His birth, not winter’s solstice cold,
A new moon bright the Scriptures hold.
The sixth month bore Messiah’s cry,
When its full moon graced the ancient sky.
But Daniel warned, the scribes would scheme,
And alter times with twisted themes.
So, was His birth obscured by lies,
To blend with pagan enterprise?
“Christmas,” once banned in days of yore,
A pagan tag Americans swore.
Now embraced, its roots concealed,
While Yah’s holy days remain repealed.
Peace on Earth? Goodwill to men?
Align with Him, and start again.
Reject the customs wrought by hands,
And walk the path the Lamb commands.
The Savior calls, His voice is true,
“Come out, My people; I wait for you.”
For in His love and laws divine,
True joy and peace forever shine.
So, pause beneath the tinseled glow,
And ask yourself, “Do I really know
Why the world hates Yah’s holy ways,
Yet adores all Satan’s masquerades?”
